I have been trying to install Jurabib on my current LyX/Mac 1.3.4 installation with no success and I wonder if someone can help. (I understand from a previous message that there currently are limitations to LyX support for Jurabib, but I'm willing to live with them until LyX 1.4 comes out).
I installed the Jurabib package in the latex directory and moved the .bst files to the BibTeX bst directory, which in my case is
/usr/local/share/texmf/bibtex/bst
I did the usual Edit>Reconfigure and restarted LyX and was expecting to see the Jurabib styles show up in the BibTeX dialogue (i.e. , but they are not there. Any suggestions?
First, a minor correction: the preferred location on the Mac for your additions to the texmf tree is within ~/Library/texmf. (Thus, .bst files should go into ~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bst.) This should have no impact on LyX finding the files, however.
My best guess is that you've forgotten to run texhash (as root). After installing any new latex file, you must type "sudo texhash" in a Terminal window (giving your administrator password when it asks), so that latex can find it. Edit>Reconfigure within LyX won't help unless latex can find your files first.
